This script works in PSP 9 and up, patched - it is free for personal use only

The Netting Script creates a 200ppi New Image which will then be filled with a fixed net pattern.

The script will prompt its user to choose a fill material for the net or else to use its default setting, which produces a light tan rope. A shadow layer is added for convenience, which can be turned off in the Layers Palette before using or saving the resulting image as a pattern.

Below is a screenshot showing the outcome of the script on default setting.

Choosing a fill for the netting
Single color fills will produce outcomes that can be used as seamless tiles without fail. However, gradients and patterns may not. You can imagine that if the left side of an image ends in black and the right side in white, the two will clash when the image is repeated side by side as a pattern.

Patterns are a matter of trial and error, which is fun to watch nonetheless. Your luck will increase as you set the pattern scale lower. Also, when filling another image with the outcome of the script, a lower scale can make the differences less noticeable.

Gradients are best applied in Linear Style at a 90 degree angle, with a repeat that makes the outer ends the same color. Using other styles like Radial will probably leave you with a 'clashing' edge as seen in the middle of the image below. If the pattern is really nice, you might consider going over these edges with a little Smudge. Selecting them all at once with the Selection Tool, Rectangle, and then a Soften or Blur, is another option.

A wholly different look comes up when you use your netting pattern at an angle.
